Tiger cooling

[tigers-n <tigers-n@frisurf.no>]

Listers - I have the last year with interest followed your dicussions on Tiger 
cooling, but never read a word about the oil temperature. Isnt it a fact that 
the oil temp tells you more about your engine temp than the water temp does, 
and also when it is time to change the oil?  Have any of you monitored and 
tabled the two when the water is getting close to or passing the red line?
Anyone know if there are oil temp gauges resembling the original Smiths/Jaeger 
gauges available?
